Do people even know what a "raid" is?
I keep seeing a consistent theme in the comments about how matchmaking is needed for the raids.
The common complaint is I don't have any psn friends or I'm busy with work.
I'm sorry but a raid is something that takes both time and friends.
I raided in wow. Raiding takes time. There were calendar invites. 3 hour blocks of time set aside. Decisions on division of loot. If 1 of the 10 people made a simple mistake you started what you were doing all over.
If you add matchmaking for the raid here is what you will get. 2 fresh level 20's that expect to be carried for gear. 1 person who is half playing while doing 6 other things. 1 person with their mic on but blasting annoying music. 2 people who are actually prepared to raid.
So if you have limited time your actually wasting time with randoms. Either you spend 30 min to get 5 other people ready to raid and complete it in 2 hours. Or you que up with 5 randoms and then fail miserably for the next 3 hours.
Everyone says all they have to do is put in mic chat. That also will be a mixed bag of 6 people not agreeing on how to do the raid. Or 2 people have a mic but don't care to work as a team.
The only way match making will work is if you nerfed the crap out of the raid and rewarded lesser gear.
Raids are meant to be a test of your individual skill, working with a team, a big time commitment and a little luck. If you somehow feel a group of 6 random people can on a consistent basis actually complete a raid....... I would like a sample of the Kool aid your drinking.
Raids are a chance to get the most epic, coolest, bad ass loot. It's not epic, cool or bad ass if they give it to everyone.

We have a choice to buy or not buy to play or not play but they need to explain a lot more why wouldn't they want matchmaking for Raid so casual people won't waste their money or time being frustrated about the circumstance. Are the raids going to drop supreme loot you will only find in that dungeon which are just like mmorpgs? Do we need to participate in this raid to get one of a kind items for crafting weapons or armor like mmorpgs ? I play mmorpgs but I will drop them for Destiny if the right situation presents itself. I would join a small guild or static for it in the future if we can cooperate if the rewards are right. Also in mmorpgs there is matchmaking in raids and they do work out when you just want to play and most of your guild or static are busy or not playing. Why doesn't Bungie just create a system guild for raids? If the boss or stage mechanics for the raid are going to be high difficulty then just let the players know otherwise casual players unfamiliar with mmorpgs will may not like Destiny and that feedback will be great. The more I look at Destiny the more it seems to be more like a mmorpg, shooter, action, adventure type of genre. I hope they don't become arrogant and not listen to the gamers feedback about some of the issues.
